Carpal coalition and metacarpal synostosis are uncommon congenital anomalies of the carpus and hand. A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to help guide surgical and non-surgical treatment of carpal coalition and metacarpal synostosis. The embryology, epidemiology, medical and surgical management, and associated outcomes are detailed. Most patients with these disorders will likely benefit from conservative measures. Surgery should be considered in patients with pain and limitations in wrist and hand function.

Carpal coalitions are rare wrist anomalies and are most often diagnosed incidentally. Due to their infrequent occurrence, there is a lack of treatment guidelines in the literature. We present a case study of a 13-year-old boy who presented with symptomatic synchondrosis in both scaphoids along with a bilateral osseous coalition between the scaphoid and trapezium bones in combination with bilateral thumb hypoplasia.

We describe a 13-year-old boy with piso-hamate coalition confirmed by X-ray. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed type 1 coalition according to the classification of DeVilliers Minnaar. Piso-hamate coalition is rare, and suspicions should be raised in instances of chronic ulnar-sided wrist pain, particularly in individuals with a history of elevated hand usage, especially amongst athletes engaging in intensive hand grip activities.
